A Marvellous Light
de Freya Marske
Porquê ler
It is an enchanting historical fantasy mystery combining tactile, string-figure-based magic with a delightfully tender queer romance. When Robin Blyth accidentally stumbles into a bureaucratic post tied to Britain's secret magical underworld, he is afflicted by a lethal curse and forced to ally with Edwin Courcey, a prickly, scholarly magician. Their reluctant partnership blossoms into deep affection amidst a sprawling conspiracy, witty dialogue, and lush Edwardian atmosphere.
Onde arranjar
For audio, David Thorpe narrates the unabridged edition, accessible in the Netherlands on Storytel, Audible, Kobo Plus, and Apple Books, as well as via the Online Bibliotheek app if available in their English digital catalogue. Ebooks are available on Kobo and Kindle, while physical English editions can be picked up through Bol.com or bookstores like Athenaeum Boekhandel, Waterstones Amsterdam, and ABC (American Book Center).
O que esperar
An atmospheric, mid-paced historical mystery driven by rich prose, playful banter, and mounting romantic tension. The narrative is accessible yet intricately detailed in its worldbuilding. Content notes: contains explicit, steamy romantic scenes, scenes of magical peril, torture and violence, and themes of family estrangement.
